716. Chapter 714: These things are all very problematic!

This indicates that there is indeed a mole inside the Youhun Sect.

In order to eliminate these potential threats and gather evidence, the three decided to split up.

Su Liyan is responsible for finding the mole and eliminating the enemy forces, Zi Xi'er is responsible for gathering intelligence and supplies, while Lu Yuan continues to strengthen the strength of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

After returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan's first task was to ascertain the identities of the missing fellow disciples.

Through the accounts of their relatives and companions, Lu Yuan learned that these people disappeared after their last meeting, with no news whatsoever.

Faced with this situation, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He recalled the wealth and resources he had unexpectedly obtained in the market before.

Perhaps these resources could help him find the mole.

Thus, he decided to use the resources at his disposal in the market.

The next day, Lu Yuan brought a large quantity of spirit medicines to the main shop.

He took out the refined spirit medicines to display and informed the shop owner that they could be purchased with spirit stones.

This news quickly attracted the attention of all major forces in the market.

Soon, Lu Yuan saw a group of warrior-like people gathering around him, and one of them asked, "Are you Lu Yuan, the owner of Lei Huo Dan Ge?"

"Why are you suddenly selling spirit medicines in the market?"

Lu Yuan smiled and explained, "I unexpectedly encountered a batch of precious materials while traveling outside, and successfully refined this batch of refined spirit medicines."

"Now I plan to exchange spirit stones for more resources to consolidate Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Upon hearing this explanation, everyone showed interest in Lu Yuan.

They knew that spirit medicines have immeasurable value in the cultivator world, and obtaining enough of them would undoubtedly bring a huge boost to their faction's strength.

Lu Yuan realized the opportunity had arrived, and he reached a trade agreement with the shop owner.

The shop owner was willing to provide him with more resources and information, and guaranteed absolute confidentiality.

While Lu Yuan would provide the spirit medicines to them.

In this way, Lu Yuan gained more contribution points and important supplies, and solidified Lei Huo Dan Ge's foothold in the market.

Zi Cui Ling stood at the gate of Lei Huo Dan Ge and informed Lu Yuan that she was about to go to Southern Heaven City to handle family affairs.

Due to family regulations, she could no longer maintain close contact with Lu Yuan.

Zi Cui Ling expressed her gratitude to Lu Yuan and promised to make some arrangements for him.

She introduced Zi Xi'er, which was the appearance Lu Yuan had presented when purchasing spirit medicines at the market auction house before.

Due to the complex power relations within the Ziyun Clan, Zi Xi'er could not accompany Zi Cui Ling back, but Zi Cui Ling had already arranged two elders to take care of her.

"Lu Yuan big brother, I know you need more spirit stones to strengthen Lei Huo Dan Ge's strength, especially to improve the quality of Heart Calming Pills," Zi Xi'er said.

"I can help you find some spirit stone resources. We can convert spoils into spirit stones."

Lu Yuan nodded to indicate his agreement.

"Thank you very much for your help, Zi Xi'er."

"You are an indispensable member of Lei Huo Dan Ge."

He expressed to Zi Xi'er his deep gratitude for her selfless assistance and for his loyal companions around him.

Zi Cui Ling heard this, smiled, and displayed her selfless and generous nature.

"This is only proper; I know you have shown courage in resisting cult demon cultivators outside."

"You are a person truly capable of protecting yourself and those around you."

Finally, Lu Yuan gave all the items and equipment he possessed and had obtained from defeating cult demon cultivators to Zi Cui Ling.

These included a piece of sun essence gold and several soul-gathering beads, as tokens of gratitude.

After receiving these gifts, Zi Cui Ling treated them as treasures and kept them carefully.

"This sun essence gold and soul-gathering beads should be very attractive to cultivators in Southern Heaven City. Thank you for your generosity."

Suddenly, Zi Cui Ling took out a thin book from her large sleeve and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"There is also something I have prepared for you."

"This is a cultivation method called the 'Divine Ability Secret Record,' which can enhance your primordial spirit power."

"I know you have been troubled in this aspect of your cultivation recently."

Lu Yuan received the book, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Thank you so much!"

"I indeed need to enhance my primordial spirit power."

He solemnly expressed his gratitude to Zi Cui Ling.

In the outskirts of Heavenly Wind City's guarded zone, amidst a tranquil mountain forest, Su Liyan stood before an ancient immortal dao gate.

She wore a light blue immortal robe, held an Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand, and her expression was solemn.

"Boil a bag of jasmine tea, let it cool, then drink."

She said to the Lei Huo Dan Ge members beside her, "I am going out to carry out an important mission; please be sure to pay attention to the safety of Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating they would carefully watch over their own pavilions.

They knew that Su Liyan's departure this time might last a very long time.

Su Liyan gazed deep into the gate, her heart filled with worry and reliance on Lu Yuan.

She had witnessed many times how Lu Yuan stepped forward at critical moments and saved everyone.

But at the same time, she also knew that he bore an even more important responsibility—cultivation.

Feeling uneasy, Su Liyan glanced at the sky and then turned and walked forward.

She decided to go to Cold Jade Valley to undergo a cultivation breakthrough, forging greater strength amidst lightning and snow.

At the same time, Lu Yuan sensed the outside disturbance.

He missed the guard duty he was supposed to attend, and relied on other members of Lei Huo Dan Ge to help cover up this mistake.

Although he felt some guilt, he resolved to focus on cultivation and improve his cultivation level.

After a year of secluded cultivation, Lu Yuan successfully reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

His primordial spirit power greatly increased, and his whole person seemed to become more solid and strong.

During Lu Yuan's secluded cultivation, Su Liyan arranged the daily affairs of Lei Huo Dan Ge and planned to leave Heavenly Wind City long-term to undertake an important mission.

She well knew that as one of the core members of Lei Huo Dan Ge, her departure would bring considerable pressure and burden to Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan."

Su Liyan stood at the door and said to Lu Yuan, who was cultivating, "I have decided to entrust Lei Huo Dan Ge to you entirely."

Lu Yuan stopped his cultivation motion, raised his head, and looked at Su Liyan.

He could feel her trust and reliance in his eyes.

"Senior Sister Su, please rest assured."

Lu Yuan solemnly said, "I will do my utmost to protect Lei Huo Dan Ge and every member."

Su Liyan nodded, believing that Lu Yuan certainly had the ability to shoulder this responsibility.

However, as Lu Yuan began to devote himself fully to managing Lei Huo Dan Ge, he used the Detection Technique to detect an energy fluctuation lurking nearby that could pose a threat to Lei Huo Dan Ge.

He realized this was definitely not a simple accident.

The existence of the Youhun Sect made him feel uneasy and tense.

After Lu Yuan gained a thorough understanding of the overall situation, he decided to return to cultivation and prepare to face the Youhun Sect. (End of chapter)
